Yes, I was using "surprising result" interchangeably with "surprising
fact". By "next" or "new category" I refer to the new category in the
process of categorization generally described by Peirce in CP 1.490 and
CP 5.72 (note, I am *NOT* using "categories in the sense of the three
"universal" or "fundamental categories", but rather in the general
organization of knowledge per CP 2.222). In the context of my initial
comment, by "potentials" I mean the concepts or building blocks of
reasoning or possibilities (the "speculative grammar") that are the 1ns
basis for the current category at hand.

Sorry, I am not following you. Peirce refers to a "surprising fact,"
not a "surprising result"; and he typically categorizes facts under
Secondness, not Thirdness. What do you mean by "next category" and "new
category"? What do you mean by "potentials" in this context?

So besides
having three different conclusions, the three forms of inference
have
three different starting points--Rule/Case/Result for deduction,
Case/Result/Rule for induction, and Result/Rule/Case for abduction.
This is how I have understood it as well.
However, the "surprising result" comes from Thirdness and that is
why I have a hard time seeing abduction in a purely 1ns light.
Rather, I see Peirce's thoughts on categorization as providing the
dynamics of the semiosis of logic and the scientific method, wherein
3ns is the grounds for abduction, the "surprising result" becoming
the topic of the next category, with the potentials resulting from
abductive thinking populating the potentials of 1ns of the new
category. We then test those potentials via induction and deduction
in order to generate the 3ns and the new "surprising results" for
the new category. Thus, new categories and semiosis and the process
of truth-testing continues (as a goal or limit function).
